What is Squidoo?
That's a free social networking system based on ads and affiliate links like Google, Amazon, eBay. Here, everyone can build lenses on topic of interest or what one knows best, for example cooking, music, films. The more popular lens is,the better is
its lensrank. The popularity depends on person's ability to develop the lens's idea and to affiliate it. Lensmaker can build as many lenses as he/she wishes - it is not limited. Just a good idea is needed and the earnings could be from some $ to some thousands of $ a year.
Lensmakers on Squidoo start getting the first earnings in approximately 2 months period. After updating the lens, the earnings get bigger and can reach the amount of about 1000$ a month. It's worth trying.
Squidoo has already nearly 1,000,000 hand built lenses.
